Introduction to Chemical Reactor Analysis, Second Edition

Written for students and professionals interested in chemical reactions engineering, this second edition of a successful premiere volume involves a considerable expansion to make it suitable for a two-semester undergraduate course in chemical reaction engineering. Additional material focuses on catalysis and catalytic reactors, only briefly covered in the previous edition. The authors expand upon Adsorption in the chapter on adsorption and reaction in heterogeneous catalysis. A new chapter on transport process in catalysis is included also. A comprehensive appendix of numerical methods, with reference to the popular commercial software packages Polymath, COMSOL, Multiphysics, and Matlab are included as well.
